Chapter 834 Crayson Finds Out the Truth
Coincidentally, Crayson was looking at her as well. His muddled eyes were dark with unfathomable
depths, where treachery lurked. Veronica quickly averted her gaze and glared at Mateo. “Crayson is
right. You’d be better off protecting yourself with your half-baked skills.”
Even though she said that, Mateo’s words resounded in her mind. ‘He won’t let me protect you no
matter what. He even said that Iron Pillar will put his life on the line to protect you.’
Crayson had always kept a low profile, and he never exaggerated his words. Those words of his were
intriguing.
“Veronica, you went to the palace today, right? Did they mention anything about the hunting banquet of
the hidden clan?” Hayley came over in the morning and had been waiting for Veronica ever since.
When she saw Veronica returning home, she couldn’t help but ask. “Oh, yes,” Veronica replied readily,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthen smiled and said, “They asked me to participate in the hunting festivities, but I wasn’t interested, so
I declined.”
For the hunting banquet this time, Veronica didn’t have a choice and was obliged to attend. However,
she wanted to see how Hayley would convince her.
“You declined?” Hayley was a little surprised, then she tilted her head to exchange glances with
Crayson before hastily saying, “The hunting festivities this year is a large-scale hunting event that
happens every ten years. All the officials of the hidden clan will be attending. Tanya invited me and
your master to participate, and she even said that we can bring you along and announce your identity
to everyone present. This is the perfect chance to announce your identity, so why did you decline?”
“Oh. In that case, I just have to attend the event without joining the hunt, right?” Veronica feigned
ignorance. “Sure, I’ll go if I don’t have to join the hunt.”
“Well—”
Having her words cut off by Veronica, Hayley suddenly didn’t know what to say.
She sent a pleading look at Crayson, signaling that he should take over.
Crayson held a pipe in his hand as he took two puffs from it. “Since you’ve been asked to attend the
event, you’re obliged to join in the hunt as well. Not only do you have to join, but you’ll have to win the
hunt as well. You may not know this, but even though it’s a hunt, it also tests the capabilities of the
young lords of the hidden clan. The young lords of the past all performed wonderfully in the hunting
event to prove their capabilities. Only then can the people be convinced.”
“Yes. The strong are respected in the hidden clan.” Hayley sighed, anxiety written all over her face.
At the side, Mateo immediately straightened up and looked at Veronica with an uneasy gaze. “But that
means Roni will be in danger, right? Tanya and the others are thinking of ways to get rid of her, so
during this hunting event, Tanya’s elite army can easily remove her from the scene.”
The trap was laid out carefully, and the scheme was as obvious as it came.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVeronica lowered her gaze, silent as she picked up the teacup and took a small sip. She then put the
teacup down and looked up to see Hayley and Crayson both staring at her with intent gazes.
“Why are you looking at me? I’m frail, and I probably can’t even win against Eleanor. How am I going to
join the hunt like this? I can’t do it, I really can’t.” She hastily waved her hands in denial. As she spoke,
she suddenly slapped her knees and said in realization, “What about Tiffany? She has been training
and waiting for a chance. Isn’t this the best chance for her to display her skills? How can she miss this
opportunity?”
It was a serious suggestion, and when Veronica spoke, both her emotions and tone were extremely
normal. However, the two people seated opposite her could hear the sarcasm in her words.
Back then, under the loving care of Mr. and Mrs. Floch, Tiffany spent her life in luxury as she enjoyed
treatment as a rich young daughter. In contrast, Veronica’s life was filled with injustice.
However, Veronica truly felt that Tiffany’s fate was quite cruel. Still, Tiffany didn’t deserve her sympathy.
